So for some reason, I always have to take a 2 hour project and turn it into a 2 day project.
I have been wanting to make a new sleeve for my Ipad 2 for a while now but could never settle on a fabric. I finally decided to use this far far away 2 fabric and add a snippet of the poem embroidered on some moda bella. I am so in love with how this turned out.
onto the next project!!!
ETA: tutorial for the sleeve from here!
Christmas vacation went by SO fast, but I think it was because I spent a week or so sick.
Thankfully I'm better now, but I'm sure as hell not ready to get back into the swing of school-related things. I can't believe I'm going back to school in TWO DAYS. I haven't handwritten anything since we were dismissed for the break. I haven't picked up a book in the past week either. Oh, and I don't remember a blessed thing I was taught two weeks ago! Way to be, right?
I've been spending a lot of time on the computer or watching TV. Yeaaaaaah, I'm super lazy. I'm pretty sure I have one or two things I have to do for homework, but I have no intentions of actually doing it 0:) I don't even know if I wrote it down anywhere....
Other than my unnecessary rambling, today was a good day for me! One of the band members in my favorite band messaged me today and it was asjghljkashg great<3
I had to clean my room before I could leave the house. But instead I started taking pictures.

Winter is so beautiful, i'm lucky that I live in Wisconsin, where I can experience every season. I've been procrastinating on homework for so long, I really shouldn't be on flickr right now (oops)

While procrastinating on flickr last night I found some really awesome Stranger Things pictures done in SL. I love that show! With all it's twist and turns, scary monsters and a secret government types driving recklessly in panel vans, what's not to like!?
This is not much but I made up a texture as a small gesture of how much I appreciate all of you and your support here on flickr ...while admittedly satisfying my Stranger Things lust too, but you guys are the greatest reason/excuse for me to make anything for! I hope you like it!

I have been reluctant to have this repaired, I've gotten quite a few shots of this spot. I'm going to go clean it up now!
16 days away from school, and she waits for two days before going back to do her homework.
Yup. Just like dear old Dad.
The thought of tidying my room always leads me to find better things to do.
I never noticed my lampshade was crooked until I got this image processed :-)

if you're killing time
make sure it's worth killing
lately i've been very busy at work, typically arriving home at 8pm, this leaves me with "technically" 4 hours to do whatever i can in this tiny time frame. i have a large backlog of photos and blog entries that need finishing, a stack of christmas cards i still haven't got round to making and sending out (i will send them mind so look out!), a lot of emails to reply to and simply not enough time to do it all.
some action is required, so i've decided to get back to productive me and start compiling todo lists with manageable deadlines for me to complete the task. the main ones include:
1. finish christmas cards and send out tomorrow
2. finish november photos and blog entries on sunday
3. email outstanding emails by friday
4. clean up my room
5. continue drafting up ideas for 365
the main time waster i'm suffering right now is the likes of facebook. though the time spent there is pretty minimal, it still hogs a bit of time so that needs to go. so in this photo i've stuck a nice label on top of my monitor to remind me to stay on task. the boats are really there for show, i learnt to fold them when doing my photo set / short story "lost coastlines".
I've procrastinated this year on putting this image out. I once again managed to be in the park on the same night and took another picture. This year I did the same as in the past and set the camera up on a tripod and shot a series of images similar to a time lapse.
At the time this image was take people were still streaming out of the park so this was taken over about about a 90 minute period.

I am pretty certain that I should be past the age at which one can find such fascination and satisfaction from stacking blocks of Post-it notes. Alas, I am not.
I think it is the exams. There is so much pressure on us to succeed that our minds are turning to a slushy, autolysed mush.
Why is it that - and I am going to generalise here - adults, mainly elderly people, assume that since we have so much technology and so many resources at our disposal, it is impossible to fail anymore? On the bus into college this morning the woman sat next to me literally said that. I think her words were: "In my day all we had was text books. We had to go to the library to study. We had none of this online stuff. You know, you're really lucky, you are. You're practically handed your qualifications on a silver platter."
I was so close to shouting at her, but I was in such a good mood this morning, better than I have been in weeks, and I did not want to ruin it, so I put my earbuds in, turned my music up and put her out of my mind for the rest of the day.
I would like to make it clear that every time something, whether it be technology, teaching standards or research, makes success just that little bit more accessible, the courses are made harder and the exams more difficult.
I had to ask my dad - with a degree in industrial chemistry and years of experience under his belt - to help with my (A-level) chemistry work the other day, something I have never had to do before with any work, and he was rather shocked and confused as to why they would be expecting us to understand something that his peers and himself had struggled with in their last year of university.
My good day went down hill as soon as I got home and looked at the pile of work waiting to greet me.

After years of procrastination I finally put my name down a few months ago for a Scottish Region Class 24/1 from Sutton's Loco Works. The loco selected is D5132, which comes in BR standard green with a yellow warning panel. Delivery is expected sometime next year but meantime I've been giving some thought as to where it will go. Being displayed on a shelf is not an option being considered - especially as the loco comes with the full-monty regards sounds and effects, including the 'stay-alive' feature.
Given that usable space is at a premium I've come up with the idea of a loco shed, theoretically located somewhere in the Borders area, during the steam-diesel transition period of the early 1960s. While D5132's home was Inverness 60A (making it a shoo-in for the Kyle and Far North Lines), seeing as I'll be the Operations Manager, I've decided the occasional trip down to Carlisle is a possibility, where it might encounter some ex-LNER and LMS friends.
The sketch attached is how it's currently visualised - it isn't to scale, but I do have a scaled plan. Use is made of a 3-way point and a double slip to save space. The shed is two-road with pits just in front of the entrance, and a water crane The well turntable is currently sized at 32 foot - which will turn a 3F Jinty but nothing bigger, so I may end up rethinking that.
The backdrop will be a brick retaining wall with a street scene above together with houses and shops. Just in front of the retaining wall will be a coaling stage - the line behind the shed used to access the coaling stage is long enough to hold a class 24 with a couple of mineral wagons, which will then be propelled back. I may well put a diesel-oil tank and another water crane there, to make it a 'one-stop shop'.
Entrance to the shed yard will possibly be through the bridge at bottom right. However, thoughts subsequent to this sketch are to have it from a small two-platform station currently being designed which, if it comes off, will also provide a circuit for continuous running.
This foray back into railway modelling is very simple after 50 years away so we'll see how (or even if) it goes. I have acquired some rolling stock - a covered van, three 16T mineral wagons (two with coal added), and a brake van, all of which are secondhand. I've also acquired enough of the track pieces (Peco Code 75 Bullhead) to start work on the Shed yard, although the baseboard and supports are still being researched so construction will have to wait until that's resolved and installed. Likely layout size will be 1.0m by 2.5m.
Imminent steps include acquiring a DCC controller - probably the Digitraks Zephyr Express - but, whichever it is, it's a steep and often confusing learning curve for someone who's only ever known the simple bi-directional analogue controllers of the 1960s.
It should make for some interesting fun over the next few months - if it does indeed get off the ground.
Apologies for the lack of responses lately. This coupled with Christmas prep, family, elderly relatives, and other personal commitments has made big demands on time. I will be however catching up over the next few days. Cheers, David.

may 5, 2012:
I've been procrastinating my final exams and essays with folders of old photos, editing my nights away, and here is one of the products of that.
the bottom image is a film photograph I took over the summer at the high line park of new york city. there was a graffiti artist creating an enormous canvas full of caricature faces a level below me, so I leaned over the side and snapped a shot of her artwork.
the top image is a digital self portrait I took in october of last year. it was taken at a particular pivotal point of my life and it's also the last time I really photographed myself.
I thought it would be interesting to superimpose myself onto the image of so many fictitious, freehand faces. I ended up taking it a step further and assigning the cartoonsitic characteristics to my own face, trying to blend my self into the background. when I look at my Self in its plainest form, a head on black and white self portrait, I notice how adaptable and impressionable I am. I have the capacity to become, morph into, and disguise myself as anything or anyone. but the Self isn't about appearance, that's the real misconception.
I miss feeling proud of something I've created and I am finally really pleased with how this turned out. it probably has a lot to do with the accidental nature of its development and the fact that it's the most experimental thing I've done and I had a lot of fun making it~
ugh late as usual. All the rain + my procrastination = late photos. I'm going to try to start posting these on time, and also do more editing. Also since i'm writing, i really want to shoot with my instagram friends over the summer so i can have other models other than myself in my photos for once.
me procrastinating and practicing with tablet while starving. the bg is a screen cap i took in GW2. i didnt not mean for my lips to be so shiny or to look so feminine, but i guess it was bound to happen with the long ass hair.

Aiguille de Bionnassay, France. 25-11-2024.
I believe this is Aiguille de Bionnassay standing next to Mont-Blanc at 4052 m as seen from Chamonix. Having missed a gorgeous alpenglow the previous day due to procrastination at a cafe, I was hoping for a similar light show but, alas, this is all I got.

This newborn Bison Calf must have thought that the weather would be a bit nicer towards the end of April, so he should have procrastinated his entrance into this snowy world.

Reason for an archived tub shot, we are without a bath tub right now and I'm missing my tub TERRIBLY..
Why are we without a tub you may ask, our upstairs bathroom was LEAKING, so bad that our kitchen ceiling is now on the kitchen floor, YEP.
So a nice nice guy that is friends with hubby is fixing it, it's only taking him a while...
So, conversation today..
(workman) Bob: Hi there Jr
Jackson : Hi Bob
Bob: Whatcha doing...
Jackson : my mom is hot...
Me, face turning RED and running inside as fast as I can.
Bob : oh, well, ok Jr, I suppose she is but don't tell your dad that I said that
Jackson: my mom is hot
It's sort of like talking to a crazy person, just walking around saying whatever you want all day long. LOL And no laughing after he said it, this is his expression as he said those words that I will never forget, I think Bob turned 5 shades of red as well. :P
